Transforming communities and improving lives in Honiara

Burns Creeks, a community outside Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands, is working to break the cycle of poverty. Through World Vision’s Honiara Youth Development, Employment and Small Enterprise Project, youths in the community are taught livelihood and technical skills and receive support to generate income and operate sustainable small businesses. The project has seen an increase in employment and improved economic conditions and a reduction in violence and substance abuse.
